Abstract

PURPOSE:To prepare a water absorbent which effectively decreases the water content of a powdered or particulate material contg. water by combining a temp.-sensitive, water-absorbing and-releasing resin, a magnetic material, and, if necessary, a rubberlike polymer. CONSTITUTION:A temp.-sensitive, water-absorbing and-releasing resin [which forms a water gel capable of reversibly repeating water absorption and release and thus capable of changing its volume across the critical temp. by a factor of 2-1,000, and is prepd. e.g. by three-dimensionally cross-linking a (co)polymer obtd. by using an N-substd.(meth)acrylamide compd. and/or a vinyl ether compd. as a monomer] is combined with a magnetic material (e.g. Fe-Ni or Fe3O4) and, if necessary, a rubberlike polymer (e.g. a polybutadiene rubber or a styrene-butadiene rubber) to give a water absorbent, which is used to effectively decrease the water content of a powdered or particulate material contg. water. When added to coal for coke, the absorbent not only decreases water content of the coal but also increases the packing density in a coke oven and thus improves the quality of the resulting coke.

2. Description of the Related Art In order to reduce the water content in a granular material such as coke raw coal, the raw coal and a water absorbent resin are mixed, the water is absorbed by the water absorbent resin, and then the water absorbent resin is recovered and dried. After that, a method of reusing is used (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Sho 61-61).
No. 151,294). In this method, the water-absorbent resin is filled as it is or, if necessary, in a container such as a sintered iron ball and mixed with the raw coal, and then separated and recovered by sieving or using a magnet. As the water absorbent resin, a three-dimensional crosslinked polymer containing an acrylamide derivative as a main component is used. This three-dimensional crosslinked polymer is a temperature-sensitive water-absorbing / dehydrating resin having the property of repeating water absorption and dehydration according to temperature changes, and has the advantage that high temperature heating is not required to separate the water adsorbed by the resin. However, when the water-absorbent resin and the raw material carbon are directly mixed, the water-absorbent resin becomes minute during the mixing, which causes a problem that separation by sieving becomes difficult. Further, when the resin is filled in a suitable container and mixed with the raw coal, the ratio of direct contact between the resin and the raw coal is small, so that there is a problem that water cannot be efficiently absorbed.

(Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3) 100 parts of N-isopropylacrylamide and 6.6 parts of N, N-bisacrylamide were used as a polymerization initiator, 0.4 parts of ammonium persulfate and sodium bisulfite. 0.4 parts was used, 2000 parts of water was used as a solvent, and polymerization was carried out at 40 ° C. for 5 hours to synthesize a temperature-sensitive water-absorbing / dehydrating resin. 100 parts of the obtained temperature-sensitive water-absorbing / dehydrating resin, 100 parts of iron powder and 200 parts of water were mixed, dried at 100 ° C. for 3 hours and then pulverized to prepare a water-absorbing agent having a particle diameter of 1 to 3 mm. Pulverized coal containing 6 parts of this water absorbing agent and 9% of water (bulk density 0.72 g / cc) 20
The water absorbing agent was collected by using a magnet, and the residual water content of the pulverized coal was measured. Furthermore, the recovered water-absorbing agent was heated at 60 ° C for 30 minutes to obtain a water absorption of about 70%.
% Was released and used repeatedly. In addition, as a comparative example, a water-absorbing agent filled in a sintered iron ball was mixed with pulverized coal and then collected using a magnet to measure the residual water content of the pulverized coal. The results are shown in Table 1.
